AI video is only as good as the prompt behind it
Tools like Sora, Runway, and Luma can produce stunning footage, or generic, lifeless clips. The difference is almost always the prompt. Type "a coffee ad" and you get something forgettable. Describe the subject, the camera move, the light, and the mood like a director would, and you get something cinematic. The problem is that most people are not cinematographers. This tool thinks like one for you, turning a plain idea into shot-ready prompts.
The five things every great AI video prompt needs
- Subject. Who or what is on screen, described with specific, visual detail.
- Action. What happens in the shot, the movement and the moment.
- Camera. Shot type and movement: close-up, wide, dolly in, slow pan, aerial.
- Lighting and mood. Time of day, light quality, atmosphere, golden hour, soft window light, neon.
- Style. The overall look: cinematic, documentary, anime, photoreal, vintage film.
This tool prompts the AI to nail all five for every single scene, then chains the scenes into a storyboard that flows, with pacing notes so the cut feels intentional, not random.
Each platform has a personality
| Platform | Strength & prompt style |
|---|---|
| Sora | Longer, narrative scenes. Responds to rich, descriptive paragraphs. |
| Runway (Gen-3) | Strong motion and camera control. Likes clear, structured prompts. |
| Luma (Dream Machine) | Cinematic, photoreal shots. Likes concise, vivid description. |
Pick your platform and the builder tailors the prompt format and emphasis to match how that tool likes to be spoken to.
Camera, lighting, and pacing, handled
You do not need to know what a "dolly in" or "low-key lighting" is. Describe the feeling you want and the builder translates it into the camera moves, light setups, and pacing that create it, the vocabulary that makes AI video tools perform. It is like having a director and a cinematographer write your shot list.

AI video prompts, answered
An AI video prompt is the text instruction you give a tool like Sora, Runway, or Luma to generate a video clip. Unlike a chat prompt, it needs visual specifics: the subject, the action, the camera movement, the lighting, the mood, and the style. The more precise and cinematic the prompt, the better the output. This tool builds those detailed, production-ready prompts for you, scene by scene.
You describe your video idea, pick a platform and style, and the tool builds a full storyboard prompt: a scene-by-scene breakdown with camera directions, lighting, and pacing, formatted the way Sora, Runway, or Luma prefer. You copy each scene's prompt into your video tool. You also get an overall creative-direction prompt you can run in ChatGPT or Claude to expand the concept first. No account, no API key, no cost.
They share fundamentals but differ in strengths and phrasing. Sora handles longer, complex narrative scenes and responds well to detailed, descriptive paragraphs. Runway (Gen-3) favors clear, structured prompts and strong motion and camera control. Luma (Dream Machine) does well with cinematic, photoreal shots and concise, vivid descriptions. This tool tailors the prompt format and emphasis to the platform you pick.
Specificity in five areas: subject (who or what, described in detail), action (what happens), camera (shot type and movement), lighting and mood (time of day, light quality, atmosphere), and style (cinematic, anime, documentary, the look). Vague prompts get generic clips; precise, cinematic language gets striking ones. This tool prompts the AI to include all five for every scene.
It depends on the platform's terms and your plan, each of Sora, Runway, and Luma has its own licensing and usage rules, and they change. Check the current terms of the tool you use before using a clip commercially. This builder helps you write better prompts; it does not grant any rights to the generated footage, which is governed by the platform you generate it on.
Yes, the prompt builder is completely free with no signup. It runs in your browser and builds prompts you paste into your own AI video tool. The video tools themselves (Sora, Runway, Luma) have their own pricing. This builder is part of ShakeKit, a free set of marketing tools by Shakeworld. Build as many storyboards as you like.
